Let me start off by saying your quilts are beautiful. I do my own machine quilting on my quilts and do not send them out. Having said that, those prices you gave seem extremely low and perhaps they think that because you are a friend that you would charge them less. If you start doing LAQ as a business, treat it as such. Having read the comments and suggestions below, I believe you have been given sound advice. Check out local LAQ, find out what they charge and how they arrive at that fee, then after making a decision what to charge, stick with it, friends or not, same price. It will only come back to bite you in the you know what if you give special rates to some and not others. Best of luck. You're starting off on the right foot by asking for and getting good advice.
